Question 18044 — biodiversity

Summary

Mr. Perceval Gaillard draws the attention of the Minister of Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion to the lack of human and budgetary resources of the French Biodiversity Office (OFB). The OFB has numerous missions including environmental policing which deploys 1,700 agents throughout the country. Thus, the OFB contributes to the exercise of administrative and judicial policies relating to water, spaces nature, flora and fauna, hunting and fishing. The proper implementation of this environmental policy is correlated with its proper understanding. Therefore, as underlined by Mr. Olivier Thibault, president of the OFB, educational work must be carried out both among farmers and elected officials. The legitimacy of the environmental police must not be called into question but, on the contrary, reinforced and accompanied by the state. For example, for the year 2023, 3,000 farms out of the 400,000 farms in France have been subject to controls. Aware of the fundamental support of the OFB for public policies to respond to the challenges of preserving biodiversity, he asks it what means it plans to deploy in order to support the OFB; these additional means being necessary to live up to the ambitions displayed in favor of ecology and biodiversity.
